A better covenant

 

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. - Hebrews 8:6

 

Everything changed with the cross. Suddenly man had a better covenant with God and we had a more excellent mediator. The one and only mediator between God and man to mediate the perfect covenant

 

A better mediator, a better covenant, and better promises.

 

I am amazed at the power and the blessings of the great truth that we, as sinners, have a perfect mediator between us and our prefect holy God. The mediator went a step beyond. He was unique because He sealed the covenant with His own blood.

 

This covenant was superior because it is not a temporary covenant full of conditions. This covenant is complete – signed, sealed and delivered.

 

The permanence of this gift is such a blessing with so many blessings we will see in the next few verses.

 

The grace covenant has changed everything for the better. My promise of eternity is secure in my Mediator and nothing can change that.
